That would just encourage bots to sit for years and let their timers expire before letting themselves known.
- 37 5y agoAre people really that petty? Or is it like a mass-agenda, control-the-narrative type of thing? For some reason I didn't(don't?) think this would happen, especially on HN. Maybe I'm being obtuse or naive.
